I've always ordered my whiteline stuff from balance motosport, same prices as elsewhere and they can tell you there and then if they have the stock levels

Had 12k In my trophy once I'd put the new engine in and spent money on other bits and bobs, then it blew up again, managed to salvage 4k back off it in parts so I lost 8k and now own a clio cup :)

I remember speaking to you at trax, I was parked next to you in the silver cup whilst you were pacing around the stand clearly fuming at your mis-fortune :( bad luck and sorry to think you've not had the pleasure of using it since (3 months) I'm sure you told me and my mate you'd made all the...

Nice car mate, has it been in a bump/getting paint work?

LOL wouldnt say I was dreaming mate, more so reflecting the condition and mileage, @35k its quite low. Its a starting figure anyhow as I'm open to offers. Chances are I'll keep it and do the belts anyway courtesy of Fred

Kw V2's IMO, I've used Gaz and they aren't as bad as people make out, once you've played with the damping settings they're an acceptable road set up however there are better kits out there

It sounds to me as if you've spent a lot of money on your clio as it is, it would be a shame to sell it and lose even more. If it were me I would be putting £2-2.5k towards a Clio dci with low miles say 70-80k. Use it for a year for your commute, they're cheap to insure and £30 a year to tax. We...

I've got no airbags, xenons with no washers and a de-cat. I

I would say when you drive the 197 you'll have to abuse it to really see where the power is, as below 4.5k rpm they're pretty gutless. Have you not considered an EP3 civic type r? IMHO a better engineering prospect, good fun and certainly enough interior room and luggage space should you need...

Best thing I ever bought for my clio, all 3 clios infact. Have a look on balance motorsport, it explains the reduction of load on particular wheels when cornering which in turn improves overall grip, reducing understeer and giving better turn in

Who won? Cant watch it at work

Yes mate the whiteline ARB does make a massive difference, I also ran Eibach sportlines to give it a slightly lower ride height. Best thing to do is buy one, I've only known one person who didnt like the way their car drove after fitting of the ARB.

I used to own T700 PHY so not too far away from you, mine was 007 and unfortunately unlike james bond this thing did die, TWICE!....anyhow enough of those sour grapes, good to see you've finally got a more modern car that will blow your socks off once you learn how it likes to play. IMHO buy...

Night and day difference mate

Sure its not stevie haswell's trophy he was talking about? Last time it was RR'd it was 385bhp, next time its on the rollers who knows what power it will make ;)

any improvements mate?

If anyone is interested mine is in the for sale section atm, £275 collected, £290 posted, good condition apart from some scrapes on the centre box from those pesky speed bumps.

Mine was set up with 2.0 negative camber and slight toe out, really did help with turn in and applying power when cornering

loved that, some really nice cars there, some crap though but thats expected at every car show

Drop me a pm when you're thinking about selling mate

Get yourself some wolfs chemicals de-ironiser. works wonders on wheels with caked on brake dust, not quite sure how aggressive the pads are you're using but it works wonders either way

Wana sell them? ;)

I've got a set of superleggeras for sale atm ;) very light wheels and imo look awesome. If nobody buys them mine are going gloss black. There is a pic on here somewhere of one with them on but think they were possibly 15's?

This time last year I was about to blow £4k on my trophy, on top of the £8k I already had in it, Worst decision of my life, I hate/love that car

o.z f1's are quite light IIRC

Hi Guys, been weighing up going forced induction or N/A, I know a lot of the issues you can get with boost but do people with ITB's experience any problems at all? Also what sort of power are you getting with cams? Cheers

It already has an Rs tuner map on mate, Paul says he can get rid of the slight flat spot but tbh I'm going to hang fire as I need to decide whether I'm going to go forced induction or itb's

I really really miss my R53 MCS, great fun and sounds nuts with a Dave.F hybrid intake on. Mine ran on eibach sportlines and it was great, not a crashy ride at all so don't listen to the coilover club that tell you they're terrible. It also added a bit of well needed camber on the rear, great...

I'd certainly get her a DCi 80 if I were you mate, the girlfriend has a mapped dci 65 and its a great little car, 65mpg + and £30 a year road tax. Hers may be for sale in the not too distant future, as I say its been remapped, its black, coilovers, 182 cup packed wheels, spacers, 182 interior...

Funnily enough I bought Phil's 'beloved' de-cat from him for £75 second hand. I gained 4bhp and upto 6bhp peak in places with a 3 Hp gain ATW, however I have created a mild flat spot between 3250-4000RPM, then I get a nice surge of torque and power at 4000rpm onwards. On a rough calculation...
